I'm trying to book another session but it appears there are no appointments during the next 3 weeks.
Dr. Ozbek is the best. She is so easy to talk with and makes you feel comfortable immediately.
Thank you Dr. Ozbek! You're the best!!!
I like her, she is awesome!
She is fantastic, I felt extremely comfortable talking to her
She was amazingly on point with her dialogue and recommendations. No wasted time on Q and A or going back over old ground. Really like and value her work. If there is something she can do to improve her support, I have no idea what it would be.
Jenny was extremely helpful into listening to things that are important to me in a tone that made me feel comfortable as well
I really enjoyed my session and looking forward to the next one!
Keep doing what she’s doing!! Extremely welcoming. Was super anxious about the video call, but within the first 30 seconds, all the anxiety had gone away.
We went 34 minutes instead of 45. :)
She did a very good job, I am very satisfied with her.
Such a good listener...trying to keep track of so much of my history.... and its baggage. Happy Snappy new Year's Nicki!
Irene Ozbek is awesome and has been so helpful..
Nicky is supportive but I wish she had more nuggets of wisdom. However, I have no idea what that would be.
Irene is always there for me, she's a great listener, and she truly cares about me. I can just feel that the way connect. She's the best therapist I have ever had.
